They do. Though lossless audio is only supported on the GTS 450 and GTX 460 at this point. All other audio has been supported ever since NVIDIA cards have sported HDMI...though older cards needed an SPDIF cable attached.

Pretty cool review, though nothing special. I'd say the best change would be the new installation method. I wonder if these drivers bring benefits to us G92 and G94 users...

Btw, mistake. Should say driver and not drives I think. It's on the last page.

Personally, I don’t think the performance increases are significant enough to make many people sit up and take notice. This is unfortunate since there is an underlying lesson to be learned by the few places where we did see higher framerates: NVIDIA is constantly improving and evolving their driver stack. With the lead times between new generation parts increasing by substantial amounts, drives have taken on an increasingly important role when it comes to keeping up with the times. As such, seeing steady performance growth in games like StarCraft II and AvP bodes extremely well for the future. Gamers who use 24” monitors will also learn to appreciate these new drivers since they offer some tantalizing boosts in certain situations.

The clean install option is the most exciting thing for me. I went out and bought drivercleaner just so I could be sure that nVidia drivers were completely cleaned. I upgrade cards so often that this will be really useful.

Along with the GTS 450, NVIDIA has released a heavily updated driver suite that features a new installer, higher in-game performance and simplified controls. In this review we take a look at what is being offered. Are these new drivers worth your attention?
